Hello

My name is Sebastian I`m 26yo, and I`m from Poland(you have to forgive me my grammar

)
I just bought my first bike for project. It`s 1983 GPz 550.
At the moment I have problem with starting the motorcycle.
At first I drained tank out of fuel to clean it, then I`m planning to clean petcock, and clean and sync carbs.
Since it`s winter project I have plenty of time (ofc i want to do it asap)
I want to restore it and modify a little bit.(pic in attachment).
I was looking for some info about my carbs, it seems that most of them have idle screw betwen 2 and 3 carb, and my screw is just below 1st one(pic rel,the one with bottle).
It`s squishy and I cant feel if it`s turned in full or not

. I`m gonna make topic at carburetor category as well. Also I`m wondering if it`s TK26 ? Where I can check it?
I`ll provide some more photos tommorow

Welcome aboard, and thank you for the pictures.
